Hawaii Five-0 Ending After 10 Seasons, No Season 11 on CBS

Hawaii Five-0 will come to an end after ten seasons on CBS. A two-hour series finale will take place on Friday, April 3. Deadline reports that a back injury from series star Alex O'Loughlin has caused trouble for the actor for years. The network explored going on without O'Loughlin by having his co-star, Scott Caan, continue the show with a new partner. With both stars' contracts up at the end of the season, the decision was made to end the series. "This show has been pretty much every waking moment for the last 10 years of my life,” said O’Loughlin in a statement. “Everywhere I go on this planet, in every language, I am McGarrett to all these people. What we’ve done, what we’ve accomplished, it’s extraordinary. I can’t really put words to express my level of gratitude. I’m just glad to have been a part of this, a part of history and I’m going to miss it. And to the fans, I don’t know how to thank you guys. Thank you for following us the way you have. I’m going to miss you. Aloha.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-tv-show-cancelled-or-announced-to-be-ending-in-2020&captions=true"] The show was developed by Peter M. Lenkov, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. It's a reboot of the Hawaii Five-0 series that ran on CBS from 1968 to 1980. The reboot has apparently been huge for CBS. Deadline reports that the show has been broadcast in over 200 countries and received $2 million per episode from a deal with TNT to re-air episodes for the show's first season. The show has also crossed over with fellow CBS shows NCIS: Los Angeles, MacGyver and Magnum P.I. over the years. “It’s never easy to say goodbye to a hit franchise that carried on the legacy of the original with such distinction while establishing its own signature style,” said Kelly Kahl, CBS Entertainment President, in a statement. “From episode one, Hawaii Five-0 has been a huge success for us. Thanks to the amazing talents of the producers, writers, cast, and crew, it has played a key role for a decade on our schedule and helped establish our powerhouse Friday night. We cannot be prouder of its quality, longevity and are thankful for the passionate fan-devotion it inspired.” [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/11/21/cbs-all-access-review-2019"] Hawaii Five-0 is the second ViacomCBS show to get the ax recently with Ray Donovan cancelled at Showtime. Here is IGN's list of every other TV show that announced its end so far in 2020. Hawaii Five-0 is currently available on CBS All-Access. IGN's review of CBS All-Access says there's some potentially great shows on the way but "the company still has a long way to go" before competing with Netflix and Disney.
